Julie Anne Legate's new book, Voice and v. Lessons from Achenese, has been published by The MIT Press as a Linguistic Inquiry Monograph. In Voice and v, Julie Anne Legate investigates the syntactic structure of voice, using Acehnese as the empirical starting point. A central claim is that voice is encoded in a functional projection, VoiceP, which is distinct from, and higher than, vP.
